Acids and BasesTwo special classes of compounds

Elements•Contain a single kind of atom

Compounds•Substances that are chemically formed

•They have physical and chemical properties that are different from the elements that make them up.

•They are formed as the result of a chemical reaction.

Hydrogen (an explosive gas) and oxygen (an explosive gas) combine to form the compound water (a harmless liquid).

Here, the hydrogen gas in the zeppelin SS Hindenburg reacts with oxygen in the air to make water.

Acids and Bases•Acids and bases are special classes of compounds that exhibit common chemical properties.

Acids and Bases

•Acids and Bases can be helpful or harmful.•Acids and bases can be weak or strong.•YOU MUST ALWAYS BE CAREFUL WHEN WORKING WITH ANY CHEMICALS!

Characteristics of Acids

•Have a sour taste (never taste an unknown!)

•They have Hydrogen atoms which have given up their electron, making them positive ions. (H+)

Characteristics of Acids

• They turn blue litmus paper red

•They react with metals to release Hydrogen gas.

What is an ion?An ion is an atom that has lost or

gained an electron giving it a positive (+) or negative (-) charge.

USES OF ACIDS•Citric acid and ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) are found in orange juice

•Carbonic acid and phosphoric acid give a “bite” to soft drinks

•Acids in your stomach aid in digestion•Sulfuric acid is the most widely used industrial acid in the world. It is used in making metals, paper, paints, and fertilizers.

Characteristics of Bases

•Have a bitter taste (never taste an unknown!)

•They feel slippery

Characteristics of Bases

They have Hydroxide (OH) compounds which have taken on an electron, making them negative ions. (OH-)

Characteristics of Bases

• They turn red litmus paper blue

•They do not react with metals.

Uses of Bases•Bases are used in soaps (remember, bases are slippery)

•Bases are used to make paper, in oven cleaners, and to unclog drains

•Ammonia is a base and is used in many household cleaners

Detecting Acids and Bases•You can detect an acid using an indicator.

•INDICATOR - A substance that changes color in the presence of an acid or a base.

INDICATORS•Litmus paper is an indicator

●An acid turns blue litmus paper red●A base turns red litmus paper blue

● Universal test papers can identify acids and bases

INDICATORS

•Cabbage juice can also be used as an indicator.

•The juice should turn pink in acidic solutions, and green/blue/yellow in basic solutions.

How do we measure the strength of an acid or base?

Use the pH (Powers of Hydrogen) scale

pH scale

•Acids and Bases are ranked on a pH scale.

•0-6.9 = acids, lots of H+ ions

•7.1-14 = bases, lots of OH- ions

Lots of H+ = Acid = low pH Lots of OH- = Base = high pH

•What happens if you have a perfect balance of H+ and OH-?

•HOH

•Or H2O

•Water!

Pure Water (H2O) is a perfect balance of the

H+ ions and OH- ions

•Pure water is a 7 on the pH scale, it is called Neutral

Question #1•Lemon juice has a pH of 2.2. Is it an acid or a base?

•acid

Question #2•Detergents such as Tide have a pH of about 10. Is Tide an acid or a base?

•base

Question #3•Seawater has a pH of 8.2. Is seawater an acid or a base?

•base

Question #4•The inside of your mouth has a pH of 7. Is it an acid or a base?

•neutral

Question #5•How do you think we came up with the term “acid rain”?

•Rain water has a pH less than 7

Question #6•409 cleaner contains ammonia that has a pH of 12. What will 409 do to red litmus paper?

•Turn blue

Question #7•A soft drink has a pH of 3.2. What will it do to a piece of red litmus paper?

•Stay red

Question #8•What is a physical or chemical property of an acid?

•Tastes sour, has a pH below 7, turns litmus paper red, produces H+ ions

Question #9•What is a physical or chemical property of a base?

•Tastes bitter, feels slippery, has a pH above 7, turns litmus paper blue, produces OH- ions

Question #10•What is a physical or chemical property of water?

•Liquid at room temperature, colorless, has a pH of 7 (is neutral)

How can I tell if something is an acid or a base?• You can taste it (NEVER do this in a chemistry lab)

• You can find its pH using a pH test paper• 0-6 = Acid 7= water/neutral 8-14= base

• You can use an indicator• Red or blue litmus paper• cabbage juice indicator

Procedures• Goggles on

• Tear a piece of red litmus paper into three pieces and put them in the tray.

• Tear a piece of blue litmus paper into three pieces and put them in the tray.

• Tear a piece of orange universal pH paper into three pieces and put them in the tray.

• Drop vinegar on the first row (an acid)

• Drop water on the second row (neutral)

• Drop baking soda on the third row (a base)

• Make observations and record data

• Clean up
